rdf:langString Joe Waldron (born 1951 in Milltown, County Galway) is an Irish former sportsperson. He played Gaelic football with his local club Milltown and was a member of the Galway senior inter-county team in the 1970s. In 1972, Waldron captained Galway to win their first All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship when they defeated Kerry in the final. He lost two consecutive All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Finals with Galway after being beaten by Cork in 1973 and Dublin the following year in 1974. He was a member of both of Milltown's Galway Senior Football Championship winning teams in 1971 and 1981, playing alongside his brother John in both finals. Waldron was also a part of the successful UCD team of the early 1970s, winning a Sigerson Cup in 1972/73. This was the same all-conquering University team that won the Dublin SFC, Leinster Club SFC & All-Ireland Club SFC titles in the 1973/74 season. On St. Patrick's Day, 1973, Waldron played on the Combined Universities football team that defeated his own native Connacht in the Railway Cup final, the only Universities team to win the Inter-Provincial Championship in football or hurling. Waldron served as a selector for the Galway senior team in the early 1990s under John Tobin's management term.
